Return to Kemet: Egypt Through an African Lens
The ancient Egyptians called their land Kemet, “the Black Land,” after the dark, fertile soil the Nile carried north from the heart of Africa. Egypt is an African civilization, and its story is part of the story of the African diaspora.
Black Travel Egypt designs trips for African American and Black travelers who want more than sightseeing: the Pyramids and the Sphinx, the Grand Egyptian Museum, the temples of Luxor and Karnak, and Nubian Aswan, guided by Egyptologists who tell the whole story, including the Nubian Kingdom of Kush and the 25th Dynasty pharaohs who ruled Egypt from the south.

No. Your guide will be a professional, English-speaking Egyptologist, and English is widely spoken in hotels, on cruise ships, and in the main tourist areas. A few words like “shukran” (thank you) are always appreciated.
A Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan is the most relaxed way to see Upper Egypt. You unpack once, sail past villages and farmland, and stop at temples like Edfu and Kom Ombo along the way, on the same river route that linked Egypt and Nubia for thousands of years.
Photography is allowed at most sites and museums. Some tombs and special areas charge an extra photo fee or do not allow photos at all. Your guide will explain the rules at each stop.
